Vegans don't usually get enough lysine

I have been doing research on vegan nutrition recently. I've found it nearly impossible to get enough lysine in a vegan's diet, by either US standards (51 mg/g of protein) or World Health Organizations standards (45 mg/g of protein). The only way I have found to get enough lysine in a vegan diet is to consume half your protein content via isolated soy protein. Do all you vegans do that? There are also deficiencies in Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, and Calcium in a vegan diet, but those can be supplemented for. My question is how do you vegans get enough lysine, an essential amino acid, in your diet?
I think this thread was relatively calm.
Sure, me too. I mean I have participated in youtube video comments, so yeah, calm/tame here. But it is more that we are all on the same team, so need that common "thread" of comradery that perhaps was missing in parts of this. I mean most of the world hates/rejects us, at least we can accept each other. Who knows...
Funny joke! Had to read it a couple times to get it...and to check for grammar/syntax/spelling ;)
'I was deducing from the above that I have been slowing down steadily in
these thirty-six years, but I perceive that my statistics have a
defect: three thousand words in the spring of 1868 when I was working
seven or eight or nine hours at a sitting has little or no advantage
over the sitting of to-day, covering half the time and producing half
the output. Figures often beguile me, particularly when I have the
arranging of them myself; in which case the remark attributed to
Disraeli would often apply with justice and force:
"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."
--The proverb says that Providence
protects children and idiots. This is really true. I know it because I
have tested it. It did not protect George through the most of his
campaign, but it saved him in his last inning, and the veracity of the
proverb stood confirmed.'

Yeah, but you conveniently left off the last paragraph (biased, perhaps?!)
"And thus when I took leave of Old Missouri I happened upon a frog raising fool near the Southern tooth of Illinois who earned support for his love of race and aged grape by daylight as a doctor of the internals. We, since he sported a mustache likened to mine and an affable way in complimentary juxtaposition to mine, got right off to liking one another. One smoky night, as we smoked what tobacco not confiscated by the tax of the Yanks, I begged of him, since I missed much of Old Missouri, not the least was the mules and women...in that order too, to put my internals to the test of virilty and function in advance of world travel with much time surely spent absent of doctors of both bodies and statistics. He reported, after many marvels at many beakers and charts, that my lysine was in good level and thus my internals in fair order and that was a relief, because we found Walgreens closed in Cairo and I, currently dependent on current and wind as I was, would not be to Memphis for another fortnight."

Sorry, moringa is not in the Canadian Nutrition File database (or my local supermarket). Also, the article states that valine is not an essential amino acid when, actually, it is.
